They seem to be confusing wisdom with technological smarts. When your population is starving to death, it hardly seems wise to sink money into a program that will lead to a suspension of food aid from surrounding countries, as well as even more isolation.

So...all those Democrats who said that Bush should have attacked North Korea--even though they weren't directly responsible for the 9-11 attacks either, which kind of takes away their argument for not taking out pyscho Saddam, are those Democrats now going to back Bush if we take military action against North Korea?

Pakistan said the reported nuclear test could spark a proliferation "chain reaction."

"This will be a destabilizing development for the region," Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.

Certainly nuclear proliferation, especially among what I would consider bellicose rogue states is undesirable. I think it makes the world a more dangerous place, and increases the chance that non-state based terrorists will get their hands on a nuke.

But on a different level, it seems peculiar to me that everyone who settles in as a member of the nuclear nine condemns the newest members and wannabees, while seeing their own possession of nuclear weapons as a fundamental unchallengeable right. Witness our own country's (USA) general opinion. Even more eye-opening is Pakistan's response noted above. It wasn't that long ago that I remember the the other members of the "club" saying similar things about Pakistan.

Mrs. Pelosi said the timing was “beyond coincidence, and has all the earmarks of another cynical Republican ploy to distract people with trivial national security issues so that they don’t hear our progressive Democrat plan to improve America by getting Hastert to quit.

I think the Iranian president put it more succinctly during the Mike Wallace interview when he said it was hypocritical that the only nation who has ever used nuclear weapons on another would challenge the motives of any other nation.

[I am not sure if that statement was CBS broadcast, but it was in the uncut CSPAN version.]
